Multiple Production Department Factory Overhead Rate Method

Performance Gloves, Inc. produces three sizes of sports gloves: small, medium, and large. A glove pattern is first stenciled onto leather in the Pattern Department. The stenciled patterns are then sent to the Cut and Sew Department, where the glove is cut and sewed together. Performance Gloves uses the multiple production department factory overhead rate method of allocating factory overhead costs. Its factory overhead costs were budgeted as follows:

Pattern Department overhead		$147,200
Cut and Sew Department overhead		246,500
	Total	$393,700

The direct labor estimated for each production department was as follows:

Pattern Department		2,300	direct labor hours
Cut and Sew Department		2,900
	Total	5,200	direct labor hours

Direct labor hours are used to allocate the production department overhead to the products. The direct labor hours per unit for each product for each production department were obtained from the engineering records as follows:

Production Departments	Small Glove		Medium Glove		Large Glove
Pattern Department	0.04		0.05		0.06
Cut and Sew Department	0.07		0.09		0.11
Direct labor hours per unit	0.11		0.14		0.17

If required, round all per unit answers to the nearest cent.
